[JetWash]

Looks like I missed this when it appeared last week in NOTAMS.

The 126.3 freq for Davison Army Airfield (KDAA) tower has been REPLACED by 124.275 until January 3 2023.

MISTY 11 back through my area now.
307.075 ZOB > 360.675 ZID > 317.625 ZID > 273.475 ZID
318.050 calling MADDOG (no joy)
Routing given VHP > STL > SZL > SLN > SZL. Not sure why they have Knob Noster twice.

My guess: The 1st SZL probably referred to the Whiteman TACAN navaid (SZL), then over to Salina (SLN), while the 2nd SZL indicated Whiteman AFB itself as a destination (SZL/KSZL)

1010- Noticed that Slick 13 (C-26 # 09-00527) landed at Martinsburg. Did a little Googling and found that he's assigned to the Fixed Wing Army Aviation Training Site (FWAATS) at North Central West Virginia Regional Airport. They train Army pilots on the C-12 & C-26 acft.

1427- Pack 81 (KC-46 # 18-46050 NH ANG) working w/Pack 82 (KC-46 # 18-46054) on AAR discrete (235.85). Pack 81 is transiting down the coast and is off the southern tip of NJ.

Navy Lakehurst NJ has a tool from Army APG to simulate a rocking ship deck.
Good first test for Drone vendors. If you can't hack a ship simulator deck then no sense going to sea for for the real deal
DVIDS - News - Ship Motion Platform brings unique testing tool to NAWCAD Lakehurst (dvidshub.net)

 

[mdmonitor]

1545- Pack 81 & 82 are working down in the Burner ATCCA in NC. At 1600 starting to head home and again working on 235.85.

I checked my freq list and I have both 235.85 & 238.85 listed as NH ANG A2A. Can anyone confirm that 238.85 is a NH ANG freq or did I just transpose numbers?
